" Good morning, Minister," she heard.

Her lips curled up into a smile as she turned around.

" Good Morning, Mr. Malfoy" She greeted him.

He smirked at her, and then leaned forward and placed a loving kiss on her temple. " Sleep well?" He asked.

"Yeah...I'm trying" she inhaled sharply.

He snaked his arms around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.

" I'll see you at 2. We'll go out for lunch. " he murmured against her temple.

She sighed as she leaned against him for a moment, drinking in his warmth, before she nodded and turned for her office.

Two days later.

"HERMIONE!!! HERMIONE!" Bang bang bang.

Hermione jumped out of her bed and ran towards her main door. It was 2 am, and thunder was striking outside. Her heart sped up, Stopped, and sped up again when she opened the door. Draco was drenched from head to toe, rain splashing onto his face and down. His steps were heavy as he made his way inside, droplets of water falling onto her marble floor.

"Draco," she gasped.

He turned towards her, his eyes meeting hers. His hair was sticking to his forehead, his eyes zeroed and tiny droplets of water were sitting on his long lashes. His cheeks and nose were blooming red due to the cold, his lips parted and flushed, pink.

" Draco" she reached out towards him.

He was just staring at her.

" Happy Birthday, " he whispered.

Her mouth formed an 'O', opening and closing. " Oh, Draco" she threw her arms around his neck, not caring that she was soaking her own pyjamas.

" You crazy man! How you... why? I mean... its past my birthday now! You wished me in the morning "  She mumbled into his slick, soft neck.

Placing his arms on her shoulders, he pushed her away, gently.

" The universe is plotting against me" he said.

Hermione's brow hiked up, and she placed her palm on his forehead, checking for signs of fever.

He slapped her and away. " I'm serious, Granger. Fuck!" He pulled at his hair.

Hermione cupped his face in her hands. " Draco..-look at me... What happened?"

" I had something really special planned for you. But fuck no, not even a single thing went as planned!" He yelled out in frustration.

Hermione shook her head.

" It's okay...its alright. We'll do whatever you had in mind some other day"

Draco shook his head, and grabbed her hands from his face.

"Marry me, Granger?" He gasped out.

And then...

"Fuckkk! Even this didn't go as planned. I was supposed to get down on one knee. I was supposed to say all of this-" he pulled out a soaking, wet roll of parchment from his pant pocket "-I wasted a whole three hours writing this for no reason! Shit! I didn't even pull out the ring, did I? I had planned for us to go to this five star hotel in muggle London, but no! They cancelled my reservation when I was halfway through driving towards your home to surprise you. And then...the gift that I wanted to give you! They couldn't portkey. ......Fuck fuck fuck. "
